THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THIS. Allow me to explain. According to the knowledge of trusted source(s), the Mario franchise is just one big spinoff for another game. A game in 1981 called Donkey Kong. At the time, Mario was called Jump Man only he wore red overalls and a blue shirt instead of the red shirt and blue overalls we know today. The girl DK kidnaps in the game is none other than Pauline from Super Mario Odyssey. This could also answer why the old dude sounding like Mario in the Mario movie was there, because he was pre-1985 Mario!
